Muse Book Shop To Move Into Renovated Building

September 3, 1985|By Charlene Hager

The Muse Book Shop, 110 S. Woodland Blvd., DeLand, for the past five years, will take part in DeLand's Main Street renovation project by rehabilitating and moving to an old downtown building in mid-September.

Owners Keith and Janet Bollum, DeLand, and Dan McKenna, Orange City, have hired the George Jenkins Construction Co. to complete the work on a turn-of- the-century structure at 112 S. Woodland Blvd.

The book shop will occupy the building's ground floor and Helikon Books Inc., a new shop dealing in fine and rare antiquarian books, will be opened on the second floor.

The building will be redone in keeping with the Main Street program's recommendations. Research on the building's history, obtained from records at the University of Florida's P.K. Yonge Library and from government records, will be used to help replicate the building's earliest interior and exterior. GRAND OPENING

Western Union district service representative Al Lazzatti said the outlet will serve about 50,000 people.
